Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether it is his Department's policy that all high-risk buildings should contain fire safety corridors equipped with fire-resistant material.
The Government does not specify which materials or approaches to construction should be used to meet the requirements of the building regulations, as a prescriptive approach would limit the ability for innovation.
Developers and designers should use the guidance in Approved Document B to decide whether fire resistant glazing or fire resistant material in corridors could be used to meet the requirements of the regulations in the construction of buildings.
